Structure and location
Dunbar Loop is located at the intersection of Dunbar Street and West 41st Avenue in the Dunbar–Southlands neighbourhood of Vancouver. The majority of the services at this exchange load and unload at Dunbar Street or 41st Avenue, while 2 services (2 and N22) load and unload inside the loop.
Because of its proximity to the University of British Columbia (UBC) and the University Endowment Lands, it is heavily used by students. All routes going westbound from Dunbar Loop terminate at UBC during regular weekday hours.
